RE: 5 More Items Salvaged From Curbside Waste Sold For $528 (15.5 Pounds Saved)

in ecoTrain3 years ago

Oh my Gods, please tell me that giant pile of trash is from an apartment building and not a house. It's a house, isn't it. ☹️

Good on you for making the call with the prop shop. That's such a good resource for when you find cool vintage things. I bet even some nonworking things, they might want just for sets.

Aw man are people really throwing out Dysons because of a canister clip? If that were me I'd at least be checking to see if I could get a replacement canister. I am by no means as well versed in repair stuff as you are, but I've had people comment that they were impressed that I did things like ...change a vacuum belt. Change a vacuum filter. Take the vacuum apart to clean out a clog. Because they would have just tossed it. I was like ...you're gonna toss a whole vacuum instead of clean it or spend $15 on a filter or even less on a belt? I dunno, man. Rich people.

I get that people were surprised I once took a CRT television apart to solder inside. But like, change a vacuum filter, people!!

As always, thanks for all you do and for these very cool reports. !BEER
